In the afternoon, Shangyuan was once again crowded with carriages and horses. Folks from Zuojin Township were saying hello to each other and walking towards the manor.
After most of the people attending the meeting entered the main hall of the manor and sat down, Li Tai and Liu Min walked into the hall surrounded by the soldiers in the tents. They waved in response to the villagers who stood up to greet them, and occasionally stopped to chat with several respected elders among them.
Have a few conversations.
He walked to the host's seat and stood, introduced Liu Min to everyone, and then motioned everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "I have been busy for a long time, and I have some leisure at the end of the year. I should have visited all the good people in my hometown. But.
All the fellow villagers have benefited me a lot, and their virtues are very high. If I visit each house one by one, there will inevitably be some differences. I am afraid that you may blame me for favoring one over the other, and act like a scoundrel, and dare to sit in the house. Please tolerate my youth and frivolousness.
Have fun together!"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and thanked Li Tai for his kind invitation. It was a happy moment.
Those who accepted the invitation today were mainly the elders of the Canal Alliance who were the first to participate in the Longshou Canal issue. Last year, Li Tai initiated this matter, and after a year, the Longshou Canal was finally dredged in its entirety not long ago. Today’s gathering can be regarded as a
Celebration party.
"Today all the sages from the village are gathered together in the hall. I am not known for my long teeth and virtues, but because the sages and elders in the village have elected the consul as the canal owner. The canal was completed a few days ago, and fortunately it has lived up to the high expectations of the folks. In terms of merit, everyone who works with me will appreciate it.
Yes, I am the only one who can support Xiangsheng. I am really ashamed of it and dare not be alone in its beauty."
As he spoke, Li Tai waved to the audience, and someone brought up a large bronze plaque with the four characters "De Bei Xiang Li" written on it.
Li Tai stood up, pointed at the bronze plaque and said with a smile: "Collect the sounds of the hometown, gather these four words, and publicize the virtues and righteousness of the Qu alliance. Although the matter of the Qu alliance has been settled, the hometown righteousness should not be dispersed. I am under the imperial court's orders.
The mission is all in Kansai, and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate this alliance."
When everyone heard this, they all stood up and clapped and cheered. They were very supportive.
Li Tai had this bronze plaque hung outside the entrance hall of his home, and used his identity as the envoy of Dushui to authenticate that this hall of his home would become the official meeting hall of the Qu Alliance.
He wanted to ask Daxingtai for a certification and praise, but Yuwentai was still busy digesting the harvest and expanding the army. He was probably too lazy to pay attention to his behavior of seeking fame and reputation. Moreover, Yuwentai's handwriting was not as good as his own.
correct.
Although it was a bit shameless to praise him, Li Tai didn't feel embarrassed anymore when he saw everyone was so supportive.
He not only prepared a bronze plaque for himself, but also prepared a gift for each of these local tycoons who took the lead in supporting him.
After the bronze plaque was hung up, he walked down to the hall again, took a brocade box from Bu Qu, came to Party Chairman Zhao of Shang Yuan and said with a smile: "Friendship cannot be measured in material terms, but real gold can prove it."
Since the founding of the League, Party Chairman Zhao has not taken advantage of his old age and is greedy for idleness. He has done everything by himself and has worked hard. I would like to express my gratitude with this gift!"
While he was talking, he opened the brocade box, and there was a yellow-orange gold medal inside. On the front of the gold medal was the four characters "Xiangyi Gaoshi", and on the back was the outline of the Longshou Canal. The gold medal weighed more than a pound.
, its own value is already very high, and it also contains extraordinary significance.
Party Elder Zhao had a smile on his face, looking like he wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to. When Li Tai saw this, he simply tied the gold medal on Party Leader Zhao's belt, which was so heavy that Party Leader Zhao's belt was hanging in the air.
On the crotch.
After seeing this, everyone clapped their hands and congratulated them again, their eyes full of envy. Li Tai did not let them wait too long. Everyone who came today presented the same gold medal one by one, and hundreds of kilograms of gold were spilled out at once.
.
While everyone felt Li Tai's generosity, they also cherished and rubbed the gold medal. Therefore, the excitement and sense of honor they felt far exceeded the value of the gold itself.
Li Tai invited everyone to come to the party, of course, not just to throw money. After giving away the gifts and returning to the table to sit down, he said with a smile: "Although we and others gathered in the hall because of the canal, the local affairs are not limited to the canal."
One thing? If any of the villagers are in need of food, clothing, or disease, they should all be helped by the villagers.
Taking advantage of the completion of this dragon's head canal, I will build a granary to celebrate. I will fill the granary with rice, thousands of stones, and thousands of bolts of silk. I invite you to choose someone who is famous for your kindness in your hometown to serve as the superintendent of this granary, to comfort the orphans and widows, and to comfort the sick.
When people in my hometown are in distress and seek help, they all come here to help!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another round of thunderous applause in the hall, and several local tycoons also stood up and expressed their willingness to donate materials and materials to support this righteous cause.
Li Tai did not arrange any entrustment. It should be said that everyone actually has a righteous and kind side in their heart. When helping others to gain gratitude, they can also get a great sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
"Rural people give charity according to their own intentions, but if it is just to hurt oneself and enrich others, it is definitely not a long-term solution. People can only help themselves and get help from others. Those who are lazy and give up on themselves will be abandoned by God, and no one can help them!
"
Li Tai took advantage of this momentum and talked about the second thing: "Everyone should know that I came to the countryside alone last year and have accumulated a little wealth so far. Everything I have has been given to me by the people of the countryside. It is called taking from others.
, although I am not known as a great benefactor when applied to people, I still hope that the people I see in my hometown will be honest and polite villagers, rather than scheming villains.
But often, although people from the countryside have the willpower to manage their careers, they may not have the capital to do it. As a result, they waste years and lose their ambitions. In the past, when I looked at this kind of situation, I had compassion but no power to help. Now I have a brief look at things.
When I get a surplus, I also want to pass on my experience in managing my business to my close neighbors..."
When everyone heard this, they cheered up. Li Tai, a newcomer from Dongzhou, quickly rose to prominence in the village. They had all seen it with their own eyes. They might not be aware of the power management beyond their hometown sentiments, but they could
Everyone is convinced that Li Tai must have a unique secret.
Not to mention anything else, the high-quality and best-selling products in Shang Yuan's workshop alone make people envious.
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Li Tai felt that the atmosphere was well prepared, so he told his real plan.
He is now considered to have abundant capital, but if the money is not spent, it will be a pile of dead things. However, how to spend it more effectively requires certain skills.
With the productivity level and business environment of the Western Wei Dynasty, even if you wanted to consume wildly, you didn't have the conditions, so you needed to change the environment within your ability.
He wants to open a bank and treat the elders of these channel alliances as customers. Lending money and making profits is secondary. The key is to let these wealthy people get out of their respective estates and participate in the economic activities of the entire society.
In order to avoid some bad guys finding fault and saying that he was whimsical, Li Tai also prepared for this for a long time.
First of all, through the canal alliance, a part of the rural households were demarcated, and through the construction of Longshou Canal, they deepened their mutual sense of co-operation, making the canal alliance personnel an important part of their social life and interpersonal interactions. They were no longer just bound by nostalgia and ethics, but
It is to establish a deeper connection.
Giving away gold medals is also to strengthen their sense of identity and honor for this identity. If they want to betray, they will have greater psychological burden and social cost. In ancient societies where personnel are not often circulated, in the organizational structure of Qumeng, if
Failure to repay debt is a more serious social death than a naked loan, and even generations of grandparents may be labeled as treacherous.
With such a stable lending environment, the risks of further financial activities will be minimized. Big data also needs to be mastered using cloud computing. Li Tai relies on Qumeng's personnel network. As long as he does not blindly expand the lending atmosphere, he can
The money will not be wasted.
The general land power is based on the self-sufficient large estate economy. Under normal circumstances, there is no need for borrowing. Even if there is a surplus, the first choice is to invest in land which is relatively stable.
Therefore, Li Tai must set a good example and influence the people around him through the expansion of his own industry, allowing them to see an investment and production model with higher returns.
Even so, given the relatively fragile foundation of people's livelihood in Kansai, Li Tai did not rush forward blindly.
The first plan he proposed was textiles, which are most familiar to rural households. Instead of one-stop production scattered across each household, Li Tai provided mulberry seedlings, silkworm seeds, hemp seeds and other materials for free, and the rural households each
You can receive it by purchasing as much planting area as you want. The only requirement is that the silk and linen raw materials must be sold back to Li Tai.
These silk and linen raw materials are processed by large spinning wheels and returned to each household for weaving. Li Tai also provides looms here. How many fabrics must be produced by each loom every year? After deducting the cost of silk thread, twine and loom, other fabrics
Then the same amount of items will be exchanged according to the current price.
Only through replacement can resources be optimally allocated. After mastering the Luoshui water conservancy, Li Tai's workshop's spinning capacity surged, but the weaving was seriously hindered. Even if he wanted to expand output, there was not enough weaving.
work.
For rural households, this production model has also greatly improved their production efficiency, and the change of production model and the expansion of production capacity do not require any investment on their part, and are all supported by Li Tai.
So when Li Tai finished talking about his plan, all the villagers present also claimed the looms. There was almost no risk in this matter. Even if they did not join in, they would still carry out textile production.
There were nearly a hundred local tycoons in the hall, each claiming a different number of looms depending on their family status, some with more than a dozen, and some with hundreds of looms. At the end of the day, more than 7,000 looms had been claimed.
According to the annual return of 100 pieces of looms for each loom, Li Tai will be able to own more than 700,000 pieces of fabric by this time next year! And 30% of it will be deducted as his cost investment. In other words,
More than 200,000 horses belonged to him. For the remaining more than 500,000 horses, he gave materials of equal value in exchange.
This account was not unknown, but when it was calculated, everyone was shocked. Everyone did their own calculations, and for a moment they all doubted Li Tai's ability to grasp such a large material handicap.
Li Tai proved his strength with practical actions. He directly asked people to bring gold and silver and weigh them in the hall. He did not have more than 7,000 looms, so he could only buy them from rural households and buy and sell them in the hall.
The hall is called gold, as much as you want!
In other words, each family will sell their loom to Li Tai, then take it back for production, and exchange the ownership of the loom for gold and silver. Production will not go wrong, as long as the ration is returned next year.
Naturally, the villagers made a lot of money, and Li Tai didn't suffer any loss. His family couldn't weave these more than 700,000 pieces of fabric in a year, and more than 70 Gao Aocao!
